German Hospitality Turnover Fell in August, Destatis’ Early Data Show

The preliminary release points to a sharper drop in accommodation than in restaurants, with updates expected as late reports arrive.

Hotels und Gaststätten in Deutschland haben im August weniger Umsatz gemacht. Im Vergleich zum Vormonat sank der Umsatz preisbereinigt um 1,4 Prozent, im Vergleich zum August 2024 um 3,5 Prozent, wie das Statistische Bundesamt in Wiesbaden mitteilte.

Overview

  • Destatis reports calendar- and seasonally-adjusted real turnover down 1.4% from July, with nominal turnover down 1.2%.
  • Compared with August 2024, sector turnover fell 3.5% in real terms and 0.6% in nominal terms.
  • Hotels and other accommodation recorded a 1.8% real decline from July and 1.2% nominal, while gastronomy fell 0.6% real and 0.2% nominal.
  • Destatis classifies these figures as preliminary and notes it revises early estimates monthly, with July’s real change revised to +0.3% and nominal to +0.7%.
